I mean, all the Coloradoans I ever dated didn't have siblings, so I'm pretty sure I'm not, but WHO KNOWS.

I love my father SO much - and more when I read shit like this. Rest, may he.

My mom found out the first time when an adorable toddler was dropped on her doorstep.

I've been dying to see "side corn" in this thread! Love you. ROFL!!!!

Public Service Announcement: Steer clear of JUSTIN RICHARD HOLD from Frisco, TX (2/21/82), y'all.

On top of you sounding like an all-around excellent human being with a will of pure steel, you're also a fantastic writer.

Man, that sucks. But props to his mom for doing the right thing by you.

My first husband wasn't very bright. It's never a good idea to cheat on a wife that works for a government agency known for its expertise in spying. Third generation in the same line of work to boot.

I know someone else who had a philandering bf tell her in anger that her rape (which happened before they'd ever met) was her fault. What a sick, horrible thing to say and use against someone.

My siblings and I also got a pretty awesome trip to Disney World after my mom found out about my dad's affair. It didn't fix anything and my mom left him about a month afterwards. But we got the WORKS. The Disney hotel and all the meals, dinner with Cinderella and line hopper tickets. It was one of my last happy…

Wow. He's the worst, but your former mother-in-law can go fuck herself with a cactus too.

In the summer of 2013, I had spent 8 Very Long, Very Hard years in graduate school and was a mere two weeks away from defending my Ph.D. My monogamous husband of 8.5 years went over to visit our closest couple friends' of 5 years house to drink and play video games while I worked on all of my dissertation shit.…

One Thanksgiving, about a decade ago, my grandmother was really sick and I decided to spend all day with her at the nursing home. I cooked her a special meal; all of her favorites. My then-husband (who also happened to be an abusive ass) decided to spend the day at his family's house for their annual get together.…

Reposted from last year (same question)(still gross!)

Okay. It's long!

The "caught" part: He had asked me to grab his phone and take it to him at work, since he'd forgotten it. It was on my way to my job so of course I did it. I grabbed it and at some point needed the time or something so I clicked it open (pre-password days) and saw a winky-face text from number with a…

My mom was trying to get back in shape after her 4th kid by walking around the neighborhood. She repeatedly saw the same woman walking at the same time as her and so they eventually started up a conversation and became walking buddies. They both talked about their husband and boyfriend, thinking nothing of them…

I had to take my mother to the emergency room while I was visiting her one weekend. I ended up staying for several days because she was super sick and my dad is basically incapable of caring for a houseplant, let alone a human. When I got back to my apartment I shared with my ex, the place was totally trashed and he…

I dated a "local celebrity" for 3 years, and always suspected that he may not have been faithful, but could never prove it. I was working as a sales assistant at a radio station, and we had a staff meeting with our newest hire. This was right after I had finally broken up with the dude, and my supervisor was saying…

When she told me, over the phone, she was pregnant, it wasn't mine, and she was marrying her new boyfriend that weekend. That was literally the only time I broke something out of anger.
